Aerial Fighting Duck
« on: May 20, 2010, 09:05:20 PM »
I'm working on a character for a campaign where all the PC's are escapees from a mad wizard's lab, and thus unusual at the very least.  I want to play an awakened duck based around aerial fighting.  I was thinking I'd use a combination of Stormtalon from Races of the Wild (DM says it's ok as long as the creature using the class has talons which this duck will)  :)  and Aerial Avenger from Dragon Compendium. 

I figured I'd go for a base class that nets me +2 Ref save then go into Aerial Avenger until I can get into Stormtalon at around level 8 or 9 I think since Stormtalon requires a +5 BAB.

Any ideas to make this a viable build? 

BTW the Duck's name will be Howard.

When I first glanced at this thread title last night (or rather this morning... at like 2 AM), I read it as Anal Fighting Duck, and I thought "Ok... that's a weird character concept."

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

As some one who had ducks growing up I can say those little bastards could get mean and tear you up with their webbed feet.

That is always a fine source of entertainment, it is also best with friends to do the whole MST thing.
